"I can't leave."

Aelin smiled gently and took out the amulet of the goddess Meriteri from his chest.

Two dark scratches were clearly visible on the silver amulet.

"This is..." Francesca was confused.

"This is the amulet of the goddess Meriteri, or the most advanced one. Are you really just Vera's alchemy apprentice?"

"There is also this black mark..."

"You were attacked by evil spirits. When?"

Shadia helped the old man over with a solemn expression.

After taking the medicine, the old man looked much better, but his eyes were closed tightly, as if he had fallen asleep.

When Aylin saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward to help the old man up.

"I am indeed Ms. Vera's apprentice. As for being attacked by evil spirits..."

"That was back in Kaer Morhen, but it wasn't a big problem. It was just that I couldn't use the portal."

Sadia nodded and thanked her, then suddenly remembered something and said:

"The portal...yes...no wonder you were in a coma for three days. It turned out that the evil god attacked you while you were teleporting."

"I was still wondering at the time why I couldn't wake up even though my head was not hurt."

When Francesca heard this, her blue eyes flickered twice, then dimmed instantly, and her hands were twisted together tightly unconsciously.

It's all because of me...she thought to herself.

Sadia noticed this scene and looked thoughtful.

Aylin also noticed the disappointment of "Valley Daisy", smiled and patted Francesca on the shoulder.

"Things are over, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. If we hadn't awakened those rock trolls at that time, we might not have been able to leave as safely as we do now."

Francesca twitched the corners of her mouth, obviously Aylin's comfort could not make her feel relieved.

after all.

In addition to the rock trolls outside, there are also Kaedweni troops swarming in.

Can Aylin really escape alone?

"So just leave first. I can always escape by myself. Don't you still know my abilities?" the demon hunter said confidently.

"The devil hunter's little trick?" Francesca struggled to smile.

"Yes, a witcher's little trick."

Aelin nodded.

"Francesca, help me take good care of them. I will meet you after we leave."

After hearing the witcher's instructions, Francesca nodded seriously, but then she thought of something and asked:

"How did you find us?"

"Don't worry, I will always find a way. Don't forget, you elves haven't given you the reward for the entrustment yet."

"Another little trick of the witcher?"

"Yes... Demon hunters always have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

While the two were talking, Sadia was leading the way. She listened with a smile on her face as they comforted each other as if no one was around.

Soon we reached the fountain at the entrance of the castle.

"Aunt Asha, Aunt Asha..."

I don’t know when, seven children gathered here.

Huh?

Aylin was a little surprised.

These children, whose oldest looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, and whose youngest was only seven or eight years old, turned out to be real, not fantasy.

and……

The witcher looked through the mirage's perspective. Except for the eldest little girl, the other children's ears were somewhat pointed.

Half elf!

There is only one elf in the castle, Shadia, so...

Shadia and Hodder have so many children!

The witcher subconsciously looked at Francesca.

"What's the matter, Aylin?" Francesca noticed the witcher's gaze, "Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"Uh... no." Under Sadia's gaze, Aylin could only scratch his head and laugh dryly.

Francesca felt a little strange and was about to ask again.

"Ai Lin, come here." After comforting the children, Sadia suddenly looked at Ai Lin.

The witcher helped the old man walk over.

"What's wrong with Uncle Hod?"

The eldest girl came over and took the old man from the witcher's hand.

Sadia sighed:

"I let him fall asleep. Let's wake him up when we get somewhere."

The girl glanced at the old man and the children with a complicated expression: "Sadia, are you sure you want to leave?"

Shadia?

Aylin's ears twitched and he looked at Francesca.

"Valley Daisy" was looking at the ground in a trance, thinking about something and didn't hear the name.

Sadia should have used illusion to block this conversation.

"Uncle Hod...maybe..."

Sadia shook her head:

"Haxo's minions have come, we can't stay here any longer."

Upon hearing King Kaedwen's name, the girl gritted her teeth uncontrollably and clenched her fists.

Sadia patted the girl on the shoulder and comforted:

"Don't worry, Lysa, as long as we can escape successfully, it will be the best revenge for him. Besides..."

Sadia glanced at Aelin.

"Even the normally neutral witchers of the Wolf School are rising up to resist. Haxor's rule is not far from coming to an end."

"Demon hunter?" The girl heard this and glanced at Aylin, feeling a little excited. "Is this your prophecy, Sadia?"

Sadia shook her head gently.

"I no longer have that ability. This is just my inference and hope."

"People have to live with hope, right?"

The girl lowered her head in disappointment and did not respond to Sadia's last words.

After a few seconds.

Then she raised her head:

"I will find an opportunity to take revenge, in my own way... Shadia, I'm going to take care of the children."

After saying that, the girl frowned and left.

Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Sadia suddenly said:

"She is Lysa, daughter of Viscount Hudson."

"His father and mother were the kindest, most principled human beings I have ever met."

"It's a pity that Hodder, Viscount Hudson and I were killed by the wizard sent by Haxor in order to buy us time to escape the night we escaped."

"I was pregnant at the time, and I only had time to take away the Viscountess, Lysa and Hodder."

"A few years later, the Viscountess died in this false castle because of her sadness..."

"Leisa has also changed from the optimistic and cheerful little princess who was ignorant of the world to what she is now."

"Hate always makes people grow, doesn't it?"

Aylin was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, Sadia turned around and smiled at him:

"It's just a feeling."

"Give me Hod."

Upon hearing this, the witcher carefully transferred the old man he had been supporting to Sadia.

"In the past, Hod was also a knight who was good at fighting. He could eat a cow in one breath. In just a few years, he only has this little weight left."

After taking the old man, Sadia babbled a little sadly.

Just now Sadia was perfunctory with her daughter.

At this time, she really looked like an old human woman who kept nagging about the past and complained about her wife from time to time.

Aylin couldn't tell the difference between the elf who abandoned his husband and his daughter and the devoted human old man.

Which one is her true face?

"I've got everything ready here. You can call Enid to open the portal."

Shadia said.

Aylin was about to turn around and call Francesca over when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

ah?

Let Enid open the portal?

An elf mage who can create such a huge illusion and even transmit sounds in his mind doesn't know how to use portals?

The witcher even suspected that Shadia was also an Ion Savini.

Aylin glanced at Sadia blankly.

"Yes, I can no longer use the portal."

Sadia seemed to read Aelin's confusion.

Can't use it?

Aylin asked Francesca, who was also confused, to open the portal and asked curiously:

"Is it because of Ben Ard's wizards? They sealed your magical abilities?"

"Boom~"

An orange portal appears in front of the fountain.

Without asking where the end of the portal was, Shadia helped the old man walk towards the portal.

The moment before entering the door, she seemed to have just heard Aylin's question. She turned around and smiled coquettishly and meaningfully:

"No, not Ben Ard's wizard."

"That was a sorceress, a sorceress you also know."

The sorceress I know...

Aylin was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Francesca who looked confused, he realized that the sorceress Shadia was talking about...

It was his mentor in alchemy and ritual—Vera.

"you……"

Ailin was about to ask, but found that after Sadia smiled and winked at him, she walked into the portal with a few children.

"Do you need me to go over and bring Ashapo...Asha back?" Francesca asked while standing in front of the portal.

After thinking for a moment, Aylin shook his head.

This is Sadia's home court. If Sadia was really malicious towards him, she would have taken action long ago.

"I will ask her myself after I leave here, thank you Francesca."

Francesca's face turned slightly rosy upon hearing this.

She shook her head:

"You're welcome. I've been troubling you all this time. If not..."

Francesca stopped talking.

She saw Aelin shake his head firmly at her.

"We have become friends who share weal and woe along the way, right? There is no trouble between friends."

Sharing adversity?

What a strange statement.

Francesca thought to herself.

But after hearing Aylin's words, the loss and discomfort of not finding his mother again diminished a lot.

"Enid Ann Galina." Francesca's thoughts changed and she took a deep breath and said, "My friends all call me this name..."

After Ailin was stunned for two seconds, he pretended to know the name for the first time and said seriously:

"Valley Daisy...a nice name."

"I remember, Enid."

Seeing the blush on Francesca's face, Aylin hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to click:

"Enid, sometimes what we are really looking for may happen to be right next to us."

"What does this mean? A prophecy?" Francesca asked curiously.

Aylin smiled and shook his head without explaining.

"So, the witcher's tricks also include prophecies?"

Francesca thought the witcher was comforting her, and her heart warmed, and she smiled happily.

The waves in his blue eyes were like the clearest lake in the world.

Ailin looked a little dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Francesca handed him two pieces of black cloth that she regained consciousness.

"What is this?" Aylin asked curiously.

"Night." Francesca's face turned rosy, "A set of magic props."

"I know you witchers have some tricks up your sleeve, but you can never have too much invisibility, right?"

"It just so happens that masks and headscarves can also hide your appearance. You probably don't want your identity to be known by the king's people..."

After receiving the prop, Aylin instinctively made an appraisal.

[Name: Night]

[Type: Magic props]

[Function: Put on the mask and activate a small amount of magic power to become invisible at night or in dim and dark places. 】

[Note: It’s just invisible! 】

[Name: color]

[Type: Magic props]

[Function: Wear a headscarf and activate a small amount of magic power to eliminate the sounds of breathing, footsteps and even heartbeats. 】

[Note: It can only be silenced! 】

She is indeed the little princess of the elves.

Stealth and silencer, simple and unpretentious functions, meet the needs of almost every night assassin.

If the demon hunters of the Cat School knew about this treasure, they would fight tooth and nail to snatch it.

But he already has a mirage to be invisible at night.

As for silencing, Cat School Two-Handed Sword Level 5 allows him to walk silently like a wild cat hunting its prey.

Besides...

Smelling the faint fragrance of chamomile and fir, looking at the blush on Francesca's face.

This mask and hood are clearly what "Valley Daisy" has been using.

Using personal props that have been used by others is a bit perverted.

So after thinking about it for a while, Aylin chose to refuse.

He said: "Aini..."

"Moreover, 'Night' consumes very little magic power..."

The witcher suddenly stopped talking and his ears twitched slightly.

"...Even a demon hunter can use it for at least fifteen minutes..."

What?

Fifteen minutes! ! !

The simplest mirage illusion only lasts for three minutes at most!

Five times the difference! Five times!

The witcher swallowed and quietly clenched the two pieces of icy silk fabric in his hands.

"Ai Lin, did you say something just now?"

"Nothing, I'm saying thank you."

Aylin expressed his sincere gratitude to Francesca with the most sincere smile.

Francesca was also very happy to see Aylin accept it, but she noticed that after the witcher held "Night" tightly, her cheeks couldn't help but feel as hot as fire.

It looks more rosy and cute.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes:

"If I stay to help you now, I will probably only bring you trouble like three days ago, rather than help."

"So this is all I can do."

After saying that, Francesca raised her head and stared at Aylin quietly for two seconds, then walked towards the portal.

"Aelin, use your little devil hunter methods to survive. I will wait for you at Grandma Asha's place."

Before entering the portal, "Valley Daisy" looked back at Aylin.

Aylin nodded firmly:

"Don't worry, Enid."

"I will find you soon. After all, you elves still owe me a reward."

"It's not the elf, it's Iron Sheedy."

Francesca corrected with a smile and walked into the portal.

"Boom~"

The portal disappears.

Aylin was the only one left in the illusion of the huge castle.
